Yoyo Appraisal Thread

I won’t offer an opinion on dinged yo-yos. Too subjective as they become players only in my opinion, not collectible (in most cases).

But… I’d pay $120.00 for a “like new” (mint?) black or red original Pistolero. The ones with the holes in the cup area.

sparhawk can you please appraise the following below?

I haven’t seen you in a while. I hope you’re doing well in the new year.

I was just curious mostly about the MIP FHZ’s, but also wondering about the Viking FHZ’s and Takeshi modded one as well. Thanks!

I’ve slowly but surely been selling my MIP and mint w/o package FHZs for $30-40 but it’s taken quite some time and I still have a few left. I’ve seen other rare FHZs (including all the ones in that picture except Vikings) sit either on eBay or on a BST for $30-35 with presumably very little interest. People don’t much seem to care about FHZs these days so you’re likely gonna have to wait for the right guy to get the right price.

sparhawk,

The Duncan equals love I paid like $50-60 for like over a year ago from Kyo and that was your appraisal when I asked you in chat last year. I’d really be surprised it it went down in value. Also, do you give the throw a higher value during trade as compared to selling for cash?

Thanks

What do you guys think the value of my throw is?

A HSpin Gorylla with a few small nicks and scratches. No box. One side Silliconed. If you want to see pictures it’s on my BST in my signature.

Stunt pegs and brass domes?

Stunt Pegs around $25 and Brass Domes no more than $10

The market seems to be more or less dead. Throws I valued in the $70-$80 had to be dropped to the $50 range in order for me to actually sell them. Of course it will do better on ebay and might actually get into the $50 range but you’re going to lose some money in fees. Trade value is always higher as well. Also thanks to skyhighyo zeros had a pretty high popularity at the time.

I believe Dave Hall just had a MIP D=L go for $75 on eBay…but at the same time oldedges had two D=L in his BST for $30 each…albeit recessed, but as far as my spending dollars go I’d almost prefer recessed to MIP. I got bored of staring at my FHZs sitting in their original package…once it’s recessed I can not only freely enjoy it, I can enjoy it to its full potential. Of course opinions will vary on this and my opinion probably speaks to the fact that perhaps I’m not a true collector.

The market on FHZs is pretty limited at the moment so I think the most likely situation to end up as a seller is either selling it low to rid yourself of it or list it at a conservative collector’s price hoping for the right guy to come along. I think hoping for magic and getting $50+ for FHZs is a thing of the past under anything but absolutely ideal circumstances (extremely rare Zero that someone is desperate for)

40-50 for the stuntpegs and around 10 for the brass domes.

Really? Then how much are RSMs going for? The last pair of Stunt Pegs I saw were listed at $30.

Raw Campfire. As mint as a raw yoyo can be.

I personally haven’t seen RSMs for sale anywhere. The guy I got my stunt pegs from said he paid $45.
